Jiu Jitsu for Law Enforcement with Officers Major John Bailey and Sgt. Wade Powers

Welcome to the Jiu Jitsu Dummies Podcast, presented by [Black Belt Digital Marketing](https://www.bbdigitalmarketing.com/) and [AcademySafe.org](https://academysafe.org/) This week we are honored to sit down with two leaders who are bridging the gap between the mats and the thin blue line: Sgt. Wade Powers and Major John Bailey of the Gwinnett County Police Department. In this deep-dive conversation, we explore the "how" behind the headlines. Wade and John share the journey of successfully launching a Jiu-Jitsu program within a major police department, detailing the hurdles and the wins of getting a BJJ-based curriculum approved. We discuss their unique roles as coaches, both within the police academy for new recruits and on the continuing education side for veteran officers. Whether you are interested in the evolution of defensive tactics, the mindset required to lead a department-wide training shift, or how BJJ is literally changing the face of law enforcement safety, this episode is a must-listen.
